Quiet morning
Dec. 25th, 2021 09:43 amCards (in yesterday's mail batch, just now sorted) from
rissaby,
scioscribe, and
nny! They're lovely, and my card display looks lovely; thank you so much to everyone who sent one, and any whose cards are still in the mail!
We're supposed to get a foot of snow today and another foot tomorrow. I'm skeptical about the amounts -- Fairbanks just doesn't tend to get snow in those quantities -- but it definitely will snow, and we're still digging out from last week's storm. The roads are awful. Yesterday I got to watch Orion spectacularly spin out on ice in front of me and hit the ditch at highway speeds in a giant cloud of snow. (We were caravanning into town in separate vehicles, because he'd offered the loan of our truck to a coworker over the break.) He was fine, the truck was fine, and a passing good egg pulled him out while I was home getting shovels and a tow strap. Still, we stocked up on supplies yesterday and don't plan on going anywhere for a few days.
This morning I scrambled eggs in butter with peppers and avocado and some of the delicious cheese
ellenmillion gave me, and had it over rosemary bread toast, and I'm enjoying a little quiet time before the inevitable deluge of family phone calls and Zooms later today.
